BIBLICAL ELECTIYE COURSE.

Students preparing for the Christian Ministry are allowed to take
Hebrew and New Testament Greek in their Junior and Senior years,
in place of equivalent studies, chiefly mathematical, and graduate
Bachelor of Arts, The following works are used as text or reference
books: Hahn’s Hebrew Bible; Gesenius’ Hebrew Grammar, by
Roediger ; Gesenius’ or Fuerst’s Hebrew Lexicon ; Winer’s Chaldee
Grammar; Tischendorf’s Greek Testament, 8th critical edition;
Winer’s Grammar of New Testament Diction; Robinson’s Lexicon
of the New Testament Greek.

A Bible Class, in which the original Scriptures are critically ex¬
amined, and the received- text compared with the readings of the
most noted arid valuable of the ancient manuscripts, is conducted
by Professor Harman, every Sabbath afternoon. All the students
have the privilege of attending this instructive exercise.

The patronizing Conferences direct the attention of young men
who are candidates for the Ministry, to this course, in the follow¬
ing preamble and resolution :

Whereas, Dickinson College provides for a course of instruc¬
tion in the elements of Moral and Biblical Science and Literature;
and

Whereas, This course is adjusted to the wants of those young
men who are preparing for the ministry, and who cannot take the
full classical course ; therefore,

Resolved , That we advise those young men within our bounds,
who feel called to preach the Gospel, to avail themselves, as far as
practicable, of the advantages of this course of instruction.

SCIENTIFIC ELECTIYE COURSE.

Practical scientific studies may be substituted for the Greek of
the Junior year, and for the Greek and Latin of the Senior year ;
and the students thus electing are graduated with the usual degree
of Bachelor of Arts.

18

DICKINSON COLLEGE.

Students in the Latin-Scientific course are required to work in
the Laboratory.

The course is also open to all students as additional work, if, in
the judgment of the Faculty, such work will not interfere with
their regular studies.

The practical exercises in the laboratory are arranged and con¬
ducted with a view to mental discipline, as well as for more thor¬
ough instruction in Natural Science than can be embraced in the
general course of study, and are adapted in each case to the pre¬
vious training, and, when desired, to the future pursuits of the
students.

Each student is provided with a desk and apparatus necessary
for the performance of the experiments, under the supervision and
instruction of the professor.

The work assigned the student, upon entrance into the labora¬
tory, consists in such experiments in general chemistry and rudi¬
mentary chemical analysis as may tend to promote familiarity with
the general facts and principles of science, and with scientific modes
of reasoning, as well as to facilitate the acquisition of skill in the
manipulation of apparatus. The subsequent course is selected from
the following in accordance with the interests of the student, and
the degree of proficiency manifested.

Qualitative Analysis, including blowpipe-Analysis and determin¬
ation of the commoner minerals, &c.

Quantitative Analysis of ores, industrial products, &c.—Volu¬
metric and Gravimetric.

Medical Chemistry. — Urinary-Analysis, Testing of drugs,
water, &c.

Legal Chemistry.—Toxicology, testing for adulterations, &c.

Photographic Chemistry.—Negative processes with the Camera,
collodion, wet and dry, and emulsion processes; positive pro¬
cesses, on glass, printing with salts of silver, of iron, and of pla¬
tinum, carbon printing, &c.; reduction of photographic waste ;
preparation of photographic chemicals, &c.

Experimental Course in Physics.—Including experiments in
Light, Electricity, Heat, and Sound, Lantern projections, the use
of the Spectroscope, Photometer, Camera, &c.

Teachers’ Course, embracing instruction in the use and care of
apparatus employed for illustration in Natural Philosophy and

Chemistry, and the performance, by means of the simplest and least
expensive apparatus , of the experiments adapted to instruction of
classes in those branches.

The reading of current scientific periodicals is encouraged, and
items selected from them, of general as well as of purely scientific
interest, are frequently brought to the notice of the students, .ac¬
companied by suitable illustrations.

The members of the Senior Class, in the elective course, are re¬
quired, as part of their regular work, to deliver experimental lec¬
tures on the subjects upon which they are engaged, before the stu¬
dents in this department, who have organized themselves into a
society for the promotion of its interest.

As a general incentive to application, increased facilities for
study, in the way of apparatus and laboratory privileges, are af¬
forded to such as make the most satisfactory progress; and where
the student is sufficiently proficient he is permitted, and encour¬
aged, to use text-books, and books of reference in the German lan¬
guage, in the laboratory.

Copies of Fresenius’ Qualitative and Quantitative Analysis and
Will’s lables for Qualitative Analysis, (Himes’ third edition,) are
furnished for the use of the students, upon payment of an advance
fee of five dollars, which is refunded upon return of the books at
the close of the session.

General books of reference, special treatises, and various scien¬
tific journals are accessible to the student in the laboratory library,
as well as that of the professor, including :

Gmelin’s Hand-book of Chemis- Dana’s Text-book of Mineralogy,
tr D Brush’s Blowpipe Analysis,

Watt’s Dictionary of Chemistry, Wood & Bache’s U. S. Dispensa-
Ure’s Dictionary of Arts, &c., tory,

member of the Senior Class who may give the fullest and most
scientific accounts of experiments made upon some subject, se¬
lected by the Scientific Society, and approved by the Professor.

LATIN-SCIENTIFIC COURSE.

Influenced by a desire to meet the wants of that class of young
men who covet for themselves the advantages of college instruction
and associations, but whose circumstances do not permit, or whose
tastes do not incline, them to complete the full classical course,
the trustees have established a Latin-Scientific Course. The
studies of the regular course, with the exception of Greek, are so ar¬
ranged as to constitute a three years’ course, affording such as find
it necessary or desirable to omit that study, favorable opportunities
for mental training and liberal culture. The degree of Bachelor
of Philosophy is conferred on those who satisfactorily complete
the studies of this course.

SELECTION OF STUDIES.

The selection of any course of study must be made for the whole
collegiate year; and changes from one course to another during
".he year cannot be allowed. The selection, in all cases, is subject
to the approval of the Faculty, and the student is required to no¬
tify the President of the course he desires to pursue at the opening
of the term.

EXTRA ELECTIVE STUDIES.

Any elective studies are also open, as additional studies, to stu¬
dents pursuing any one of the regular courses for graduation, if, in
the judgment of the Faculty, such additional work does not inter¬
fere with their regular studies; and the taking of such extra work
by any student is indicated in the catalogue, and will be recognized
by a certificate to that effect when desired.

PARTIAL COURSE.

A partial course, covering about two years, and embracing such
studies from the regular curriculum and elective courses as bear di¬
rectly upon their future vocation, can be pursued by students not
intending to graduate.

EXAMINATIONS.

1. Of all the classes at the close of the Fall Term, on the studies
of the term.

2. Of the Senior class, three weeks before Commencement.

3. Of the other classes, the week before Commencement, on the
studies of the Winter and Spring terms.

4. Of candidates for admission, the Wednesday of Commence¬
ment week, and the day before the opening of each term.

DEGREES.

The degrees, in course, conferred by the College, are the fol¬
lowing :

1. Bachelor of Arts. —Students, who have completed in a
satisfactory manner the regular or prescribed elective studies em¬
braced in the classical course, receive the degree of Batchelor of
Arts.

22

DICKINSON COLLEGE.

2. Master of Arts. —Bachelors of Arts of three or more years’
standing, who have meanwhile sustained a good moral character,
are entitled, on application, to receive the degree of Master of
Arts. Applications for this degree should be made to the Presi¬
dent, at least two weeks before the commencement, and should be
accompanied by the usual fee.

3. Bachelor of Philosophy. —This degree is conferred on
those who complete, in a satisfactory manner, the studies embraced
in the Latin-Scientific course.

TERMS AIND VACATIONS.

The college year is divided into three terms: The first begin¬
ning on the second Thursday in September, and ending on the
Wednesday preceding Christmas; the second beginning two weeks
from the termination of the first, and ending on the Thursday pre¬
ceding Easter; the third beginning on the Tuesday following
Easter, and,closing at Commencement, the last Thursday in June.

METHOD OF INSTRUCTION.

At the daily recitations, where the text admits of it, the cate¬
chetical method of instruction is avoided, as much as possible, and
the student required to give a connected view of the subject in his
own language, and without the aid of the Professor, except on
points not fully treated by the author, thus cultivating at once the
powers of memory, thought, and discourse.

When a subject is susceptible of it, a written analysis of the les¬
son may be required ; and a written analysis of the whole work at
the examination.

The instruction of Philosophy and English Literature is
given partly by recitations in History, Rhetoric, Logic, Political
Economy, Metaphysics, and Constitutional Law, and partly by
lectures on the English Language and Literature, the Philosophy
of History and Polity, and the History of Philosophy. Practical

DICKINSON COLLEGE.

23

exercises in Writing and Speaking also receive special attention in
this department.

In Natural Science, the general course includes recitations
from text-books, and lectures accompanied by illustrations and ex¬
periments; and the Elective course, in addition, practice in the
laboratory, and lectures by the students.

In the Mathematical department there are daily recitations.
In the senior year, lectures are given on the theories and applica¬
tions of the higher branches.

In the Classical department it frequently happens that either
different authors, or different portions of the same author, are read
by the same classes; but this fact does not affect the amount of
Greek and Latin required of those who apply for admission to the
higher classes.

PUBLIC WORSHIP.

Religious service is held in the chapel every morning. The stu¬
dents are also required to attend public worship twice on the Sab¬
bath, at such church as their parents or guardians may designate.

LIBRARIES.

The College Library contains.8,124 volumes.

The Library of the Belles Lettres Society, . . 10,290 volumes.

The Library of the Union Philosophical Society, 10,518 volumes.

These are accessible to all students, and, except in vacation, are
opened as follows:

The College Library, every Saturday, at 11 o’clock, a. m.

The Society Libraries, every Wednesday and Saturday, at 1
o’clock, p. M.

READING-ROOM.

The College reading-room is conducted by the Literary Socie¬
ties, under the supervision of the Faculty. The hall appropriated

24

DICKINSON COLLEGE .

to its uses is commodious, well-lighted, and supplied with the con¬
veniences usually found in well-appointed reading-rooms. In ad¬
dition to the opportunities for profitable reading furnished by the
libraries, access is thus afforded to a wide range of choice current
literature, the room being supplied with a number of the best Eng¬
lish and American periodicals, and having on its files many of the
leading religious and secular newspapers of the day.

LITERARY SOCIETIES.

The Belles Lettres and the Union Philosophical Societies, purely
literary in their character, were nearly coeval in their origin with
the founding of the College, and have been maintained in contin¬
uous operation throughout its history. During this period they
have accumulated large and valuable libraries, to which they are
adding yearly many of the best issues of the press. By means of
these, as also of their weekly exercises, they exert a highly benefi¬
cial influence. Their associations are among the fondest memories
of college life, and not the least of the advantages of college resi¬
dence is the special training they impart.

MUSEUM.

The College Museum contains specimens in Mineralogy, Geol¬
ogy, and Natural History, adapted to instruction, including a col¬
lection of minerals bequeathed to the College by S. Ashmead, Esq.,
of Philadelphia, and a suite of one hundred and forty rocks of the
Mt. Blanc chain, added out of the interest of donation of J. W.
Hendrix, M. D., supplementing a plaster model of that chain
previously presented by Dr. Durbin.

PHILOSOPHICAL AND CHEMICAL APPARATUS.

The apparatus employed for illustration in the General Course
of study is valuable, and annually increasing. The apparatus in

DICKINSON COLLEGE .

25

the Laboratory for the use of the students is adapted to the wants
of the Elective Course. A fee of one dollar, paid by each student,
the special laboratory fee of those taking the Elective Course, and
the interest of certain donations, made for this purpose, are applied
to its increase and use. A large Compound Burning-Glass, larger
lens, 18 inches in diameter, once the property of Priestley, and
the Rotascope employed by Professor Walter Johnson, are of special
historical interest. Amongst more recently added pieces are a
Lime-Light Lantern, Gas Microscope, and Table Microscope, manu¬
factured by Zentmayer; Carre Ice Machine, Bourdon’s Apparatus
for the demonstration of the vis-viva of projectiles, Centrifugal
railway, by Salleron, of Paris; Induction Coil, with Geissler tubes
and rotators, by Ruhmkorff; Bunsen Battery of 40 cells, with 11-
inch carbons; Dipping Battery, by Desaga; Bunsen’s Photometer;
Cathetometer; Electric Lamp; an improved Holtz Electric Ma¬
chine, with extra condensers and complete accessories for piercing
glass, &c., manufactured by Borchardt, of Hanover, Germany,
presented by J. W. Hendrix, M. D.; by interest of donation of
J. C. Rives, M. D., a Polariscope, and Crooks’ Radiometer; a
Binocular Miscroscope, with accessories, manufactured by Beck, of
London, presented to the College by Professor T. G. Wormley,
M. D., of the class of 1848.

ASTRONOMICAL OBSERVATORY.

The College has facilities for instruction in the Department of
Astronomy. The Astronomical Observatory is provided with an
Achromatic Telescope, manufactured by Henry Fitz, of New York.
This telescope has an object glass of five inches, with a focal dis¬
tance of seven feet, is equatorially mounted, and furnished with
right ascension and declination circles.

PRIZES.

By the liberality of Daniel Pierson, Esq., of Newark, New Jer¬
sey, the College has been furnished with funds to be appropriated

26

DICKINSON COLLEGE.

as prizes for oratory. These prizes are in the form of a gold and
a silver medal, to be given to such members of the Junior class as
excel in the combined merits of Declamation and Composition.
The prizes are known as

THE PIERSON PRIZES.

Awards for 1881.

Gold Medal —R. Newton Coulston.

BELLES LETTRES SOCIETY SOPHOMORE PRIZE.

UNION PHILOSOPHICAL SOCIETY SOPHOMORE PRIZE.

As an incitement and means to improvement in composition and
declamation, at an early stage in the College course, the Belles
Letters and the Union Philosophical Societies have each instituted
a yearly contest therein for their respective members from the Soph¬
omore Class. Ail the members of this class in the two Societies
have the option of competing, and a gold medal is awarded the
contestant in each exhibiting the highest degree of excellence in
the arts to which the competition relates, as decided by judges
chosen by their respective Societies.

Awards for 1881.

Belles Lettres Society —William A. Kramer.

Union Philosophical Society —No award.

TUITION AND SCHOLARSHIPS.

Attention is especially requested to the following regulations :

1. But one student can enjoy the use of the same certificate of
scholarship at one time.

2. Presentation of a scholarship to the Treasurer within thirty

/

DICKINSON COLLEGE .

27

days after the entrance of a student is required. Otherwise, tuition
will be charged.

3. For the use of scholarships, except in cases of sons or wards,
the consent of the owner must be presented in writing.

4. Transfer of scholarships can be made only on written order
of the owner, or his legal representative.

5. A scholarship for twenty-five years can be converted into four
of five years each; one of ten years, into two of four years each,
and a perpetual scholarship, into four of four years each. In case
a portion of the scholarship to be converted has been consumed,
so much will be deducted from one or more of the new certificates.

6. New certificates can be issued in place of lost ones, only after
satisfying the President of their existence and loss, and after receipt
by the Treasurer of a copy of the newspaper of the county wherein
the owner resided, or of the newspaper published nearest his resi¬
dence, containing advertisement of the loss, and of intention to
apply for a re-issue.

RESIDENCE, BOARD, &c.

Students not residents in the tQwn, are required to lodge in the
College, and to furnish their own rooms. Furniture can be pur¬
chased in Carlisle at moderate prices.

No boarding department is kept by the College. Most of the
students now board in clubs, or voluntary associations, carefully or¬
ganized and managed by themselves, constituting families of from
fifteen to twenty persons each. The expense varies from $2 25 to
$2 50 a week. Others board at such private boarding-houses in
town as are approved of by the Faculty, in which the price of board
varies. Washing is from $1 00 to $1 50 per month.

College expenses. These will vary according to the habits and
circumstances of the student. There is also a small annual ex¬
pense in the Literary Societies.

FINANCIAL AFFAIRS OF THE STUDENTS.

As economy is indispensable to the welfare of' both the College
and the student, and all experience teaches that youth should not
be allowed the uncontrolled use of money, attention is called to
the following extracts from the statutes of the College. Though
the faithful observance of these rules may not, in all cases, secure
the economy desired, it will doubtless prove a salutary check upon
temptation to extravagance and vice.

1. Every minor, whose parent or guardian does not reside in
Carlisle, may select some member of the Faculty as his patron,
who shall have special oversight of his deportment, and whose duty
it shall be to afford such counsel as his circumstances require.

2. All funds for the use of a student shall be deposited with his
patron; and no student shall be permitted to remain in the Insti¬
tution who shall obtain money from any other source, unless he
immediately deliver it to his patron.

3. Parents are requested to notify the patron at the beginning
of each session what expenses each student is allowed to incur, and
the patron shall be strictly governed by such information in his
disbursements.

4. No student shall contract any bill without the permission of
his patron.

5. College bills have the preference ; all others according to the
date of presentation : Provided , That no bills shall be paid for
horse or carriage hire, confectionery, fruit, eatables of any kind,
or other articles unnecessary for a student.

6. The patron is at liberty to furnish such pocket money as the
parent or guardian may prescribe : Provided , It does not exceed
what, in his judgment, with thfe advice of the President, the in¬
terests of the student and of the Institution may require.

7. In case any student shall borrow money, or contract any bill,
contrary to the rules of the College, he shall be dealt with as for a
high offense, and the payment of such bill by him or for him shall
subject him to such discipline as the circumstances may demand.

8. In the monthly report of each student, his patron shall state
the items of expenditures, since the last report, together with the
amount of funds received. The accounts of the patron shall, at all
times, be open to the inspection of the President and Faculty.

30

DICKINSON COLLEGE .

9. The patron shall not be held personally responsible for any
bill of any student. The expenses of correspondence in the dis¬
charge of his duties shall be charged to the accounts of the students
concerned. As a compensation for trouble and risk, he may charge
a commission of three per cent, on all money paid out.

BENEFICIARY FUND.

This fund, arising from the contributions of benevolent friends,
and the interest of loans to students, is used to aid young men of
limited means, who are preparing for the ministry. The money is
loaned to them at three per cent, interest, on their notes, payable
after graduation, and thus becomes available, in time, for the aid
of others. As the cases of this description, in which a small amount
of help may prove of incalculable benefit, are more numerous than
the fund affords the means of helping, donations to it, in money
or scholarship, are earnestly solicited. They may be forwarded to
Prof. C. F. Himes, Treasurer of the College, and ex-officio of the
Fund.

ENDOWED SCHOLARSHIPS.

The trustees recently authorized the founding of endowed
scholarships of one thousand dollars each, whose object should
be to aid in extending the privileges of the College to young men
of promise, otherwise unable to command them.

I. Such scholarships may be constituted as follows :

1. The donor of each scholarship shall have the privilege of nam¬
ing it, and of selecting the student who shall enjoy the income.

2. Scholarships may be maintained by the annual payment of
sixty dollars as interest, until the principal sum of one thousand
dollars is paid. They lapse, of course, when the interest fails, un¬
less the principal sum has been paid.

3. Churches contributing one thousand dollars each, may, if
they desire it, place upon that foundation the sons of their minis¬
ters, or, in lieu of that, may nominate some other candidate to re¬
ceive its avails.

DICKINSON COLLEGE.

31

II. Their use shall be subject to the following regulations:

1. Whenever a scholarship becomes vacant, its income, during
such vacancy, shall be at the disposal of the Board of Trustees.

2. Candidates for them must, in all cases, present testimonials
of good moral character.

3. Those who are placed upon these scholarships must be fully
prepared for admission to College, and when admitted, must con¬
form to its laws and regulations.

The creation of such scholarships is very much to be desired.
Many young men of excellent promise would, in this way, have
the advantages of collegiate education brought within their reach.
It may be doubted whether the same sum invested in any other
way would accomplish equal good. We earnestly commend this
opportunity of extending the usefulness of the College, and of af¬
fording perpetual help to worthy young men struggling to fit them¬
selves for active life, to the favorable consideration of those who
are concerned to do good with their means.

GENERAL REMARKS.

The government of the institution is mild and parental. It is
designed to secure attention to study and correctness of deport¬
ment not so much by the enforcement of rigid rules, as by culti¬
vating in the student a taste for intellectual pursuits and virtuous
habits. But while youthful indiscretion will be treated with lenity,
incurable indolence, bad morals, and pecuniary extravagance, will
not be suffered to remain to corrupt the good morals of students.

A faithful record is kept of the standing and deportment of each
student, of which a. monthly report is made out and sent to the
parent or guardian of those who are under age.

Since loss of time is injurious, both to the habits and the scholar¬
ship of students, it is desirable that they be present and ready for
work at the opening of the session ; and parents and guardians are
earnestly requested to discourage all absences from College for the
purpose of visiting friends or otherwise, except in urgent cases.

< Vdejpa da tor t school.

This School, which was organized in response to the widely ex¬
pressed wish of alumni and friends of the College, as, also, to the
formal action of one of its patronizing Conferences, has been in
operation several years, and with results conclusively evincing the
wisdom of its establishment. Its success, which, from the first,
was gratifying, leaves no doubt that it meets an actual want. Its
conduct is under the immediate supervision of the Faculty of the
College.

SPECIAL OBJECT OF THE SCHOOL.

The primary object of this school is the thorough preparation
of young men for College, with the greatest economy of time and
money. Its course of study is arranged with special reference to
this object. By the omission of such branches as belong more
properly to the subsequent College course, and by concentration of
the whole time and effort of the student upon such as are required
for admission, the time of preparatory study can be much short¬
ened without any sacrifice of thoroughness. Students from other
schools, who maybe partially or imperfectly prepared for College,
can have their studies arranged in such a way as to prepare them
for admission in the shortest time possible. A preparatory course,
requiring less time, is also arranged for such as may desire to pur¬
sue the Latin-Scientific Course of three years, from which
Greek is omitted. *

Students in the Preparatory School, who may not desire to
prepare for either of the College courses, are, when qualified to
do so to advantage, permitted to pursue such studies in the College
as may be approved by the faculty.

Students are received at any time during the year, though en¬
trance at the beginning of a term is, for many reasons, desirable.
Special attention is paid to such as may require the work of one
or two terms for admission to College the ensuing year.

36

DICKINSON COLLEGE.

EXAMINATIONS FOR ADMISSION TO COLLEGE.

As the examinations of the Preparatory School are made
under the supervision of the Faculty, students passing satisfacto¬
rily on the studies required for admission to the Freshman Class,
will be received without further examination.

ROOMS AND BOARDING.

The members of this school have the privilege of occupying
rooms in the College buildings on the same terms as students in
the College, and of boarding in the clubs, or other authorized
boarding houses. Where parents may prefer it, board and lodg¬
ing can be obtained in private families. Careful oversight is ex¬
ercised to guard the morals, and diligent effort made to promote
the interests of those connected with the school.

From the above summary it will be seen that all necessary ex¬
penses, exclusive of books, traveling, etc., range from $170 to $204
per scholastic year. In view of the great saving of time in this
course of preparation, as compared with that of a more general
course, the actual saving of money in thus preparing for College
is much greater than would appear from these figures in them¬
selves considered.

DICKINSON COLLEGE .

37

ORGANIZAITON

While the school is under the supervision of the Faculty of the
College, it is in the immediate charge of Professor James Elden,
A. M., a graduate of Allegheny College, and for years a success¬
ful teacher in prominent positions.

GENERAL REMARKS.

1. In addition to the advantages of economy in time and money,
already indicated as being afforded by this school to those prepar¬
ing for admission to College, there are advantages of a more gen¬
eral character worthy of appreciation. Among these may be named
the privilege of access to the College libraries and reading-room,
and to the general literary exercises of the College. The effect of
such agencies as these in promoting the improvement of those
brought in contact with them, though silent, is often the most de¬
cided character.

2. Cumberland Valley, in which Carlisle is located, is unsur¬
passed in beauty, fertility, and healthiness; and while the inland
situation of the school exempts students from many of the tempta¬
tions to extravagance and irregularity incident to large cities, it
yet is easy of access, being connected by several daily trains with
Baltimore, Philadelphia, and intermediate and adjacent places.

3. Parents or guardians are furnished a monthly statement of
the attention to study, and of the deportment of their sons or
wards.

SCHOOL BILLS.

/

Bills are payable during the first month of the term. No de¬
ductions made for less than half a term.

MANAGEMENT OF FINANCES.

As the control of money at school, by those inexperienced in
its use, is apt to prove the source of many evils, both to students
and the schools, it is required that all money intended to defray
the expenses of students in this school, who are minors, shall be
deposited with the Principal, by whom it will be carefully devoted
to its intended purpose, and a detailed statement of expenditures
made monthly to parents or guardians.

This is the Seminary of the New Jersey Conference, and is a school of
high grade for both sexes. Young men are here fitted for college, for
business, or for their professions, it is believed, in the shortest time com¬
patible with thorough work; and young ladies receive a finished college
education, receiving the degree of M. E. L. or M. L. A., according to the
course pursued. Our Alumni answer for our success, many of them fill¬
ing high positions in society, and our young men standing high in their
classes at Dickinson, Wesleyan, Princeton, and Yale Colleges. The
Faculty is large, and composed of men and women of experience and
enthusiasm in their work.

While the intellectual interests are thus provided for, it is an axiom
with the administration that intellect is valuable only when under the
influence and restraints of religion, and those placing young men and
women under our charge, may be well assured that their wards will be
under kindly moral restraints and direct religious influences.

Our charges we believe to be as reasonable as it is possible to make
them, with the comforts and advantages they command.

The school is easily reached from New York, Philadelphia, and Balti¬
more, and is situated in an eminently healthful location, as is attested by
the almost uninterrupted good health of the school.

THOMAS HANLON, D. D..

Pennington , N. J .

(Extract from Visiting Committee's Report .)

The religious interest of the Institution is well sustained, which is say¬
ing not a little when it is remembered that no fewer than six hundred of
its young men have entered the Christian ministry, and that very many
of these "regard this as their spiritual birth-place. None who become
acquainted with Dr. Hanlon can for a moment fear a decrease in the
moral and spiritual welfare of those under his charge. For a school
where the largest possible attention is given to health, morals, and men¬
tal development, we think none better than Pennington Seminary can
be found in the length and breadth of the Connection.
